This is a very interesting survey of three modern topics in modular representation theory, to which the author brought fundamental contributions during the past 12 years. The unifying theme behind these topics is the concept of triangulated categories. The author discusses first equivalences between the derived categories of two block algebras and recent progress on Broué's abelian defect group conjecture. The second part of the papers is concerned with stable categories. Indeed, the stable module category of a self-injective algebra is triangulated, and a quite detailed discussion of equivalences of stable module categories as triangulated categories is given. The last part of the paper looks at the analogy between stable module categories and the stable homotopy category of algebraic topology. A version of Bousfield localization in the context of triangulated categories is presented, and the author shows how this applies to the study of varieties for modules. The author includes proofs of some of the results; many examples and interesting observations are given. The paper is highly recommended to anyone interested in the subject.
